Hole of Horcum Circular Yorkshire Walking Trail

The Hole of Horcum Circular Walk is a scenic and popular hiking route located in the North York Moors National Park, England. The walk typically covers around 5 miles (8 kilometers) and takes about 2-3 hours to complete. It begins at the car park near Saltergate and follows a well-marked trail that loops around the dramatic natural amphitheater known as the Hole of Horcum, a large hollow that is 400 feet deep and about half a mile wide. The trail offers stunning views of the moorland and the surrounding countryside, passing through areas of heather, woodland, and open grassland. Points of interest along the walk include Levisham Moor, the scenic valley of Levisham Beck, and the picturesque village of Levisham. The route is moderately challenging, with some steep sections, but it is suitable for most walkers with a reasonable level of fitness.
